Lehman Cave

Today, I visited Nevada's only national park, Great Basin.  A relatively new park--it will celebrate its 25th birthday in 10 days--one of the main attractions is a cave filled with elaborate formations. They actually have 40+ caves in the park, but only one, Lehman, has so many formations. 

Before the park service took over during the 1930s, it was a privately run show cave.  Now, it is only accessible on a ranger-led tour. The tour lasted about 90 minutes.  The ranger in charge did a very good job.  He encouraged interaction and got it.  I've only been to a couple caves in my life.  This one was by far the most ornate.
